Psychotherapy can be a transformative experience that helps you explore your inner world. My approach allows us to explore the parts of yourself that remain hidden, difficult to understand, slow to change, and, frankly, stuck.

I also help clients build healthy friendships and partnerships, explore ...
I have experience in working with depression, anxiety, life transitions, and school stress. I spent more than two years working at Cornell's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), which provided me with deep knowledge of the ins and outs of their mental health system, along with the pressures that one can face at college in regard to competition, academic stress, and building social connection. Being from upstate NY, I also understand some of the isolative parts of the experience, and adj...
I am particularly well-suited for college students, as I ran a research team with students for more than ten years and won the top mentoring awards at both of the universities where I was a professor. As a former professor, I do have a unique understanding of young adults and their needs. The clients who fit best with me tend to be bright and intuitive and perhaps even “overthinkers” who I often teach to think less, ironically! :) My clients come to me for a number of reasons, but one co...

I work with ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, and trauma. It can be hard to adjust to college life and even harder to navigate if you need ac...
